What books are you reading or planning to read this year?

Just a thread for you to share the last book you finished.

For Christmas I received:

Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

I absolutely loved this book, I like all of Sarah Water's books, to be honest.

I loved Maud, and did not see the twist coming at all! Amazing.

Welcome to all our lovely new members! :)

Welcome lovely new people! :)

Welcome Melissa! :D

I've been watching mostly TV shows lately (binge watching House MD currently!)

But off the back of that watched one with Hugh Laurie called Oranges the other day which was hilarious.

Also keep meaning to re-watch the second Hunger Games film.

My boss gave me The Guest Cat by Takashi Hiraide for Christmas, haven't yet read it though.

This is an awesome challenge idea Paul, well done! :D

Welcome to all of new vipers! :)

Currently watching Les Miserables as noticed it's new on Netlfix :D

I'm desperate to visit Barter Books, I'm in Tyne and Wear so it's not a million miles away just haven't got round to visiting!

I don't know of any more local book shops other than the high street ones but I get most of my books from charity shops, have found many unread books in there!

Ohh I read this in 2011 and I really enjoyed it. It amazes me how hundreds of years ago they thought of these kinds of stories, with mystery and strange phenomenon.

Must admit I love the movie with Ben Barnes in it also...

True Lies!

I'm re-reading the Harry Potter series at the minute
